Ionisvitie Finds Natural Gns.

LOUISVILLE. Ky, Aug 29.-Twenty five miles
from this place. down the Ohio river and upon
the Indiana side, the Union Gas Company OF
Louisville has struck a magnificent flow OF nat
urai-gas at depth of 400 feet. 1t has been
known for years that gas has existed IN small
quantities in the region mentioned. the flow from
one well on the Kentucky side having been util-
lied In the salt-works OF Mr.. c. p. Moorman for
twenty-three years. Other companies have been
boring for several years past the Kentucky
side In the hope of finding powerful enough
now to pipe to Louisville, but without success.
Major VIM. j. Davis. the geologst of the Union
company, and a gentleman of ability and high
standing In Louisville, states that according to
MS calculations the flow of gas amounts to at
least two hundred cubic feet per second, which
would amount to about seventeen millions cubic
feet per day. .'Of course, my estimates are not
precise" said he. "but feel assured that the
flow 10 net less than ten millions cubic feet daily
Inc greatest flow of natural gas in this country
is from the harg well at Findlay, O. There the
flow Is twelve millions cubic feet in twenty-four
hours l do not believe the flow from the Karg
well exceeds that from our welLD

WASHINGTON. Aug. 29.-Second Comptroller
Butler has written a letter to Paymaster-general
Rochester, of the army, in regard to accounts
of paymasters, in which he says: II have the
honor to inform You that it appears from the
records Of this Office that large majority of
the paymasters of the army are indebted to tbs
government in larger smaller amounts under
bonds that expired in the years 1883 and 1884.
or earlier This Indebtedness was ascertaned
upon final revision of the accounts of said
paymasters, SIX to ten months ago, the result OF
which has been sent TO the officer in each case.
Considering the length of time that has elapsed
since the expiration OF said bonds it would not
seem to be advisable, and certainly is not busi-
nesslike, to longer permit said accounts to
main this unsettled condition. If the
government be justly entitled to the
money, payment should not be delayed;
on the other hand. If the officer has good and
reasonable defense to the charge against him,
he shonld be allowed to make il, while ths evil
dence in the case, whether documentary or oral.
is still fresh and easily obtainabe. The period
of time intervening between the expiration OF
these bonds.and the final revsions Hereunder is
owing to the large number OF paymasfers ac-s

1883. 1884, and prior years ! am aware of the
inconyence and possible hardship that have

Meeker says there has been no fighting since
Thursday. 1t is reported that 600 Indians are
c.mped within few miles of Meeker, and they
are said to be ready for q fight Colorow is cred
tied with blood-thirsty utterances. but there is
no proof that he has made them. There are
fully as many people who think the so-called
war Is a put-up job as there are who be-
iieve there is any danger from the Indians.
Colorow has, it is said by many. acted
throughout on the defensive. It ia
pretty certain that he did not begin the recent
hostilltles. but fred after being attacked. The
view taken OF the affair by the United States
military authorities is that the whites are too
willing to have fight II the cowboys and
militia would retire. it is believed that Colorow
would gladly return to the reservation peace
fully, and he could then be dealt with according
to legal methods. The latest statement of cas-
ualtes by the late battle is that ive whites were
killed and four wounded; seven Indians and two
squaws killed and FIVE wounded.

Stephanie is a very young and amiable princess.
Her hair, if the highly-colored pictures which

She is n plump young person of good figure,

about her having bolted home to her father.
The only possible doubt is to the cause of her

only seventeen years old. Her husband. among
his other titles, enjoys that oe doctor of phi
